Home / About APS / APS Governance / Leadership Elections

On January 10, 2023, we invite you to attend a virtual town hall event to learn more about the 2023 slate of American Physiological Society (APS) Council candidates. APS President Dee Silverthorn, PhD, FAPS, FAAA, FAAAS, and APS Immediate Past President Jennifer Pollock, PhD, FAPS, FAHA, will introduce each candidate.

The APS Council is critical in guiding the strategic initiatives and direction of the Society. As an APS member, one of your most important duties is to vote to select who you want to fill the roles of President-elect and Councilor. Don’t miss your opportunity to engage with these leading scientists and learn about what they can bring to the Society in a leadership position. 

Following a brief introduction from each candidate, we will open the floor for community engagement in a live Q&A session, so come with your questions. We hope this town hall meeting will help solidify your candidate selections when you receive your official ballot in early January.
